Is Elon Musk a business genius, as his fans and investors proclaim, or “among the top ten minds in history, rivaling polymaths like da Vinci or Newton,” as his chatbot Grok famously averred?
Whatever he is, you definitely couldn’t accuse him of being particularly self-aware. Early Thursday morning, Musk took to his social media site X to deliver some sage advice to us peons living paycheck to paycheck: don’t save money for the future, because it’s “pointless.”
“Saving money for the distant future is pointless with the advent of super intelligent abundance,” Musk wrote in a tweet.
It’s a feat of hypocrisy as staggering as Musk’s obscene preponderance of wealth. He’s a sometimes-trillionaire, a net worth catapulted well past the $900 billion mark following the uber-hyped IPO of his company SpaceX. If he blew $100 million everyday for the next twenty years of his life, he still wouldn’t even come close to spending all the money he’s amassed.
